NABBA Figure Overall Australian Champion... Transformation complete, hope you like. Now I'm a Figure Girl. Working on refining the look and blazing my way up.
MISS AUSTRALIA FIGURE OVERALL CHAMPION
Hello there, welcome. I've been weight training since 1995 and competed in my first women's bodybuilding contest in 1997.
I originally grew up in Melbourne Victoria. I did the usual kid things, school, Little Athletics, preferring middle and long distance as I could go into my own zone and gymnastics.
My knees where shot by my mid teens, so I didn't get involved much in any sports again till my late 20's.
I worked for 15 years in the horse racing industry in Vic and N.S.W, with commercial breeding and training. In this I started out at the bottom, as you do, but very quickly moved my way up into management positions and was regularly sort out to work on various well known stables, training complex's and breeding properties. Vet nursing with equine is very rewarding especially in pre and post natal care. Though some may die you were quickly rewarded with another making it through.
In 1995 after leaving the racehorse scene and moving to Cairns in Far Nth Queensland I was very thin weighing only 55kg, at 172cm I looked like a willow stick. I started work as a dancer of all things; I also joined a gym to try and put some meat on my bones and get some shape about me. I loved the weights and very soon the competitive drive rose up again to challenge myself and I was addicted. As a dancer I grew in confidence, but I never let it consume me as working as an exotic dancer (yes a stripper) is far from glamorous as some would lead you to think.
I started competing with IFBB in a few small competitions doing women's physique and in 2002 I moved down to Brisbane where I'm still gaining more valuable experience and knowledge in the sport. Winning 4 State titles, a National and an Australasian title in Women’s Bodybuilding between 2000 & 2006, I was pretty pleased with what I had achieved on my own.
Then the road changed direction, slightly. January 2007 a friend ran an idea past me, "Would I consider giving NABBA Figure a go"? Well I've done it and I’m glad I took her advice. It was kept under wraps as there was plenty out there who would think I couldn't cut it, stating I was too muscular (Since when? Plenty out there who were bigger than I was). 5 months later the look on their faces as I was about to walk on stage and compete in my first Figure event said it all. I am now a Figure Competitor. Out of the strong, came forth "Sharp Curves" exceeding my own expectations.
The biggest compliment I have been paid is that I still hold a very feminine look, not over done with too much muscle, but rather a more appealing well trained look. As such I believe that I would be more appealing to a greater selection of the female market than some other, perhaps larger women.
I have done some television commercial work and magazines. This has been a lot of fun and looking to do more.
I’m currently working as a security officer and crowd controller, this has many challenges. For the most part I enjoy this work, but, I've quickly developed a strong distaste for intoxicated arguementive people who are too drunk to see reason or accept responsibility for their own actions and behaviour. I'm looking in other areas for work away from the alcohol.
It is always a pleasure to hear that I have inspired someone to follow their goals and dreams, just by doing what I love to do. Their excitement spurs me on further.
This is where my friends are now pushing me to expand my world as a Personal Trainer. I’ve helped many people over the years and watching them reach their goals left me smiling like the proverbial Cheshire cat. So, taking my friends advice, getting more qualifications and promoting myself as they see me instead of under selling myself for fear of looking too cocky…. I AM HERE… and I am a Personal Trainer. Are you interested in getting into better shape?, wanting a healthier lifestyle?... feel like reaching a few personal goals?, hit me up. I have loads of first hand experience to draw upon and share.
There, I said it and I’m putting myself out there. Adding to the contest bikini’s & trunks, the music editing and tanning I’m already doing for other competitors.

I have a distinct dislike for those who are insincere and portray themselves as someone they are not. You can trust a thief but never a liar.
I'm only interested in meeting real people who are positive and know which way they are going in life. Happy down to earth honest people who enjoy life and value *TRUST, HONESTY and RESPECT* DAMAGE JUST ONE OF THESE THREE TRAITS AND YOU LOSE IT ALL. Having an interest in fitness is always a plus. I am also here to try to find a sponsor or sponors (there's my honesty for you) to help me reach my next goal to compete at an International level for which I am now qualified. Visit my Sportfund profile
Bodybuilding, it's a lifestyle that gives me something to focus on. My hobbies include movies (when I get around to it), eating out (when the chance arises and diet allows), spending quality time with good friends, who like fine food and wine, are hard to find, so I sayvour every moment with them. Bev_Lee my staffy x kelpie {best lil' cardio buddy one could wish for}, can't help but smile with her around. Love watching the wrestling, kickboxing and UFC.
Bev_Lee recommends plenty of rest to recover after your workouts.
Speaking of reading, you know what gets me saying "Hmm"? People who submit friend requests but have their myspace set to private so you can't find out who they are or what they're into. Then there's the ones with no photo's, no interests, info none what so ever. I tell ya, it's worse than a blind date. It would be nice if anyone requesting an Add as Friend would send a lil' introductory message along with their request please.
So Please Note: No Photo, No Profile or set to Private, No Reply. I don't do blind dates and will ignore these kinds of profiles. No point going off your head at me either over this, I can't hear you. LMAO.

Hi Coral,
Long time no contact. My computer crashed completely two weeks ago and I lost my entire email data base. I'm contacting everyone to re-acquire their email addresses to rebuild it. This time I'm being more particular whom I have on my list. It just wouldn't be complete without you in it.
Could you please send me an email? Then I'll have your return email address.
I hope things are going really well for you.
Love and best wishes,
Jim

Hello Coral!
I miss you sweetie. I'm sorry for being out of touch. My father was ill for awhile, I had to take care of him and my family. Everything is fine now and he's all better! :) I'm doing great, just preparing for the holiday. How are you? Are you ready for Christmas? I hope everything is well with you. Love to hear from you soon. Talk to you later! LOL! :)
Always my best!
